wherein ~ '.' .
FIG. 1 is an end view of a specific embodiment of the ~LV~59QC~
ballast tampiny implement, FIG. 2 is a perspecti~e view of the implement of FIG. 1, indicating its operation, and FIG. 3 is a diagra~atic view of another embodiment of the ballast tamping element arranged in a tamping head and illustrating.,`the tamping of a tie.
Referring now to the drawing and first ta FIGS. 1 and
2, the track on which a mobile tamper (not shown) is arranged or mobility consists of a multiplicity of ties 3 and two rails 2 (only one being visihle in the drawing) fastened to the ties. As will be obvious to those skilled in the art ' and is shown in FIG. 3, the tamping implement 1 is capable of tamping ballast under ties 3.
Implement 1 is constituted by a rigid unit which is substantially fork-shaped and arranged astride rail 2. It consists essentially of tamping tool holder 4 and tamping tools S detachably mounted on the holder. ~he illustrated ~ :
tamping tool holder i9 substant~lly l -shaped ànd has an arm :

~P4~0~
symmetrically at the lower ends of vertlcally extPnding holder arm 6 and, as shown, arm 6 consists essentially of two longitudinal web me~bers 9, 9 and bracing element 8 ;~
interconnecting the web m~mbers. Reinforcing webs 10 ex-tend between holder axm 6 and holder arms 7, 7. This illustrated construction of holder 4 is particularly strong and resistant to ve~y heavy loads and pressures, thus pro-viding a very efficient tamping implementJ particularly where two tamping tools are mounted on each transverse holder arm.
Tamping tools 5 are mounted on each transverse arm 7 and extend vertically downwardly ~rom the holder arms for immersion in the ballast to the left and right of rail 2, two tamping tools being arranged on each arm in the illus~
trated embodiment. The tamping tools are detachably mounted on holder arms 7, 7 for ready replacement, for which~jpur-pose these arms have two conical bores 11 for receiving corres-pondingly shaped mounting portions o~ tamping tools 5 and rein-forcing webs 10, 10 have holes 12 vertically aligned with bores 11 ifor receiving wedges detachably holding the tamp- ;
ing tools in holder 4. This arrangement is designed not only for the ready replacement of worn tamping tools, which are readily accessible on the freely projecting transverse holder arms 7, 7, but also provides considera~le rigidity provided by the bracing and reinforcing elements~ The rein-~orcing webs 10 constitute a continuing connection between -~
web members 9 of arm 6 and transverse arms 7 to provide a true structural and force-transmitting unit.
The tamping tool implement described hereinabove is particularly usefuI in a vertically adjustable tamping head '3~0 which has a carrier for the tamping tools. As shown in FIG. 2, tamping ~ool implement 1 is mounted on tamping tool carrier 14 of a tamping head, which has been indicated only schematically, by means o pivot 13 inte~mediate the end~ of the implement for pivotally mounting the implement on the tamper. Bearing 15 at the upper end of vertically extending holder arm 6 links the implement to drive 16 for pivoting the holder arm in a vertical plane about pivot 13. The illustrated drive is a hydraulic motor drive as commonly used or the reciprocation of tamping tools for tamping ballast under ties.
The illustrated rigid tamping tool implement unit is particularly useful in the well known type of tamping head wherein pairs of tamping tools are mounted on a vertically ;~
movable carrier for immersion of;the tools in the ballast, with a tie extending between the tamping tools of the pair and the tools connected to drives for vibrating the tools and moving the tools together towards the interposed tie to tamp ballast under the tie while being vibrated. Such a tamping head is mounted in vertical alignment with each track rail so that the ballast at the interseCtDnS between tie and rails is tamped whereby the track is supported on firmly packed ballast.
The pivotal mounting of the tamping tool implement shown in FIG. 2, which is known per se, has the particular advantage of very effectively transmitting vibrations of sub~
stantially constant amplitude to the implement from a vibra~
tory drive (not shown). Furthermore, the arrangement of bearings 13 and 15 makes it p3ssible to give the pivotal ; 30 holder 4 a very advantageous configuration since the holder ~, ~s~o is symmetrical with respect to the bearings and khus very favorably ab~orbs all loads during the tamping opeation while very efficiently transmitting the vibratory and reciprocatory forces to the implement.
The outstanding characteristic of the tamping tool im plement of theFresent invention is its construction as a rigid unit mounted astride a track rail, the pivokal vertical arm and the transverse arms of the tamping tool holder as well as the tamping tools fixed on the transverse holder arms being in rigidc~nnection. This simple construction produces a transmission of forces substantially without play from the drive means for the implement to the tamping tool jaws which tamp the ballast in a continuous flow of foxce, thus increasing the efficiency of tamping with the same power input to an unexpected degree. Furthermore, it greatly improves ;i the space economy in tamping heads because two or four tamp-ing tools mounted symmetrically with respect to the rail on the implement holder require only a single pivotal arm for transmission of the vibratory and reciprocatory movement to the tools. This~ in turn, reduces the number of drives and, ~
correspondingly, of transmission parts. The symmetrical -arrangement astride the rail produces a uniform load on the entire implement. In summary, the tamping tool implement is simpler and more economical to build and to maintain, it is , more accessible for repairs and it is much more efficient in operation than tamping tool units heretofore used on mobile track tampers.
In the tamping tool head schematica~ly shown in FIG. 3, tamping tool implements 17 are basically of the same construc-tion as tamping tool implement 1 of FIGS. 1 and 2, the : , ::
1~4Sg~(~
illustrated pair of implements consisting essentially of holder arm 18 pivotal in a vertical plane passing through rail 2, two transverse holder arms extending from the lower end of holder arm 18 and a single tamping tool 22 mounted on each transverse arm to the left and to the right of rail 2 (instead of two tamping tools, as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2).
In this embodimentO holder arms 18 of tamping tool implements 17 are linked to hydraulic reciprocating drive 19 by bearing 23 intermediate the ends of the implements for pivoting vertical holder arms 18, 18 about transverse axis 20 in the vertical plane while pivot 24 at the upper end of the vertical holder arms llnks these arms to a vertically movable carrier for pivotally mounting the implements on the tamper. In a manner well known per se, eccenter shaft --~
drive 21 is mGunted between the pair of tamping tool imple-ments to vibrate the implements.
The pivoting arrangement shown in FIG. 3 can be used effectively not only for hydraulic drives but also for machines in which reciprocation of the tamping tools is eEfected ~y a spindle-and-nut drive instead of a hydraulic motor. The tensile and impact forces between reciprocatory drive and tamping tools is fully~absorbed by the pivotal tamping tool holder arm, thus relieving stresses on the tamping tool carrier and making it unne~essary to reinforce the carrier.
.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodi-ments-hereinabove described. Various possibilities are available in connection with the configuration and structure of the rigid t~mping tool implemPnt unit. The tamping tool .~ ~
~0~
holder may be an integral cast iron .qhape or may be pxo-duced b~ welding parts together, for example. Furthermore, the implement may be ~sed not only in the illustrated type of tamping head wherein a pair o~ tam~ing tool~ i~ mounted astride a tie for tamping ballast under the tie by a pincer movement of the tools but also in known arrangements wherein two tamping tool implements are immersed in thé same crib and moved apart towards the adjacent ties wherebetween t~e implements are immersed~ The mete~ and bounds of the pre-sent invention are defined by the appanded claims.
